Dual boot Touchwiz and Cyanogenmod.

Hi. I'm running Skynoye 4.3 Edition ROM on my Note 2 i317. I love this ROM and its based of of an official leak for 4.3 update. I also love stock android but this being a note 2, it has an spen which requires a lot of proprietary software inside touchwiz to run at its full compasity. I also love touchwiz features. Is there a way for me to dual boot touchwiz and an aosp ROM like cyanogen or paranoid android? And also can the two Roms share all data like apps and documents? Thanks in advance.
Happy Tinkering.
Best wishes,

[Q] Touchwiz rom recommendation?

I'm looking for a Touchwiz based lightweight ROM for my P3100 with basic features and google apps will do...
Any Recommendations??
Using slimbean 4.3 right now can't stand the camera picture quality since its aosp based..
NEXT rom is in my opinion the fastest touchwiz rom out there for tab 2, Give it a try very smooth rom.

Newest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900?

Newest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900?
Looking for ANY rom for my tablet. My tablet are very slow, and needs at ROM upgrade.
What do you recommend?
Or your opinion on best ROM
Our opinions aren't as important as your own since it's ultimately your device.
What do you prefer - Samsung's baked in features in Touchwiz including the integrated S-Pen features, or do you prefer a cleaner Android experience without the S-Pen integration (though the pen will still work) ?
The "latest" stock Samsung firmware is basically 5.0.2.
I'm currently using Civato's ROM since I like the pen and multiwindow integration.

CM 13.0 but you'll loose a lot of Samsung's built in apps and quality of life usability features because the TouchWiz framework only functions for Android 5.0.2. Have you tried the debloated rom versions of the stock and non-stock Andriod 5.0.2 roms? Personally I'm eagerly awaiting a android 7.x.x release for the 12.2 pro P900 but it has yet to be released by rom developers mainly because Nougat (7.0) is still very young in its release cycle.

Galaxy tab 2 10.1 P5110 - Latest stable Android based OS?

Hi everybody,
I am now using a Galaxy tab 2 P5110, running under Android 4.1.2, not rooted.
My problem is that my Tab is really slow when I use basic apps (chrome, office apps).
In order to get a bit more power from it (removing the Samsung layout, but I know it's a 2012 tablet...) I am looking for the most stable ROM I could use, and if possible running under a quite recent android version.
I am quite new to this kind of manipulations, so I am also looking for a tutorial to instal the ROM you could advice me.
I know I have to root my tab before doing anything. Does the tutorial available here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
Thank you all for your answers!

Edit: I have an other question. Is the root enough to remove the Samsung touchwizz layer? If yes, how to do it?
Lineage OS 13.0
You could get a Lineage OS 13.0 nightly, and from my experience those are fairly stable.

For starters if you want to get rid of TouchWiz you can remove all of the bloatware and Samsung apps (like TouchWiz home, AccuWeather widget, Samsung Apps, Group play).
But I recommend just install custom ROM. Maybe cm11 or cm12.. I am using Dhollmen 4.4.4 on my tab for 1 years and it is working very well for me.
Thank you for your advices,
@tasnim_tamim: I dont know Dohllmen. Is it à cyanogenmod Android version? Which tab do you run under this ROM?
@orionboughton: are nightly versions if lineageOS stable? I have heard that these are update vert often, and some Android functionality can be disabled
Its a ROM based of SlimROM.. I am running it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100
Lineage OS 13.0
Lineage OS is basically an updated version of Cyanogenmod, so i guess that's what it's based off of.
I've been running a nightly of Lineage OS from their website at https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi , and it's really smooth compared to touchwiz and the ram is managed much better. The camera works, the gyroscope works, and I've only had one or two problems (like root not being enabled out of the box, and needing to flash a supersu zip to get that running), and besides that it's all good. If you have a problem, rebooting usually fixes it and I've rarely had to do that in the past few weeks I've been running it.
Another plus is it runs android 6.0, which seems to be better in every way. Great standby time, 4h or more screen on time, etc.
However if you do decide to get it, make sure to flash with the latest version of twrp, and if not you might softbrick your device.

I would love to see a port of the Note 7 on Andriod 5x or 7x..?

I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.
1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!
